Shipley MP Philip Davies calls for EU referendum

Philip Davies
Philip Davies has signed up to a campaign calling for an EU referendum.
The Shipley MP is one of 64 cross-party MPs who have signed the People's Pledge, calling for the public to have a say on Britain’s membership in Europe.
The group announced yesterday it plans to hold referendums in 11 parliamentary constituencies this year – followed by up to 100 more in 2013. It will announce the first area next week.
Mr Davies said: “The last time people had a vote was 1975 and that was on the Common market, now it is the European Union. People thought they were voting on free trade, not to have the majority of our laws made there. The EU is bleeding us dry.”

Every couple of weeks Davies bleats some right-wing Daily Mail soundbite and then goes back to eating grass.
I have no idea what the other Bradford MPs do for the city!

I wish the woman on the show had asked him where he stood on non stunned halal seeing as though he seemed to be in a animal rights mood.
